It’s always nice when you get the chance to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in awhile. Such was the case last Thursday when I got to spend some time cracking a few beers and sparking some conversation with Baker. He also introduced me to Mr. Leonard Cohen. Of course, I’d heard of him, but I’d never really listened to the man speak, or read any of his poetry. Baker played me an interview Cohen did in 1966, and I was really taken with it, and him.

As Baker said, “Watch this, and tell me if, by the end of it, the interviewer doesn’t totally want him.”
